The campground is nice and tidy and I was greeted well and my spot was already labled. I dont like the lack of shade and privacy at the campground.

Cedar Pass Campground offers beautiful scenery and a perfect location for exploring the Badlands, with friendly campground hosts and clean, spacious sites that provide privacy. Guests enjoy excellent stargazing opportunities and convenient access to trails and facilities. However, some reviews mention outdated showers and occasional cleanliness issues in the bathrooms, as well as a lack of shade and privacy between sites. Overall, visitors appreciate the campground's charm and its proximity to the park's attractions.

Beautiful view of the Badlands. Clean restrooms and running water at the bathhouses. The birds are incredible and the view of the sky is amazing. Bad weather hit during our trip and it was intense so prepare accordingly. Wind gusts come fast so items need to be tacked down. The host and Ranger were helpful when my car wouldn’t start.

The campgrounds were fine. Bathrooms were clean and convenient. Picnic table and wind shelter were a nice touch but it was so windy when we were there that we couldn't really use them. Not the fault of the campgrounds of course :-)

Loved our time here, though we got rocked twice in a row by insane storms. So if you’re camping in a tent, beware! The storms do not play. Such a beautiful location though. We could see for miles and miles across the prairie. The shade over the picnic table is brilliant, worked like a charm and also doubles as a great place to dry stuff. The coin showers were a little odd, never had to pay for a shower in a park before, but it mostly worked ok. The water stopped a min or so in and I had a panicked moment as I had no more quarters and was completely covered in soap… but it started up again so crisis averted. My husband says the men’s restroom was very hot, but the women’s was fine. The dumpster was overfull, but it was centrally located. Love that there was recycling on site. LOVED the dish sink, with HOT WATER!! I wish every campground had that. Would absolutely stay here again, even with the storms.

The campgrounds were not great, but a large part of that was due to weather. More importantly, be sure to sell propane connections that are actually compatible with the propane stoves you sell...
This is a pretty basic compatibility issue that was overlooked by your managers.
